My interest in gaming fell by the wayside a couple of years ago when real life intruded. Coupled with that a projected foray into the Palestine theatre of the Great War came to a crashing stop only a few weeks after I developed an interest in it, for obvious reasons. I turned instead to noodling with railway modelling, but gaming was never far from my thoughts.
Cut forward to earlier this month, and a find at the local library book sale...

| 1215: The Year of Magna Carta. |
This neat little book by Danny Danziger and John Gillingham covers the sociopolitical, military and economic aspects of the decades immediately before and after the signing of Magna Carta. It doesn't go into great detail on everything - that'd take a much bigger work - but it does at least provide an overview of the era.
Enough to get some gaming ideas fermenting again. Perhaps a small, limited campaign set around a castle held by one faction or the other, which the opposing side needs to gain control of. It'd be a chance to dust off my First Barons War collection, and get my peasant rabble on the table at last.
We'll see...
